Deep Tissue Massage: Alleviate Pain More Effectively

So, I'm at my local nail salon (I love the French manicure) without my children for a change, when I am complaining about my back. It always hurts. I have tried many over the counter medications, over and over again, but to no avail. Now, I was talking privately to my friend, but some random buttinsky piped up "try a deep tissue massage". Apparently, I was speaking too loudly, and now my ailment is out in public. I, unfortunately, was desperate. I had to enquire further. I have had massages, they haven't helped. However, Miss B. was extremely impressed with the local masseuse, and for all I knew, was working on a referral basis! Anyway, when all was said and done, I was ready to head off for a deep tissue massage.

When dealing with deep tissue pain, you need to do more than what I was doing. A deep tissue massage, as I discovered is specifically aimed at realigning deep muscle layers, stiff necks, shoulders and lower back pain. Bands of painful tissue can cause chronic muscle tension and discomfort. A deep tissue massage involves deep slow rubbing that concentrates on specific areas. It gets into the connective tissue, not just the superficial tissue.

Tools will be used to work on the area and there will be very specific localized rubbing. This goes into the connective tissue, and breaks up the painful area. Elbows as well as fingers are used when administering a massage.

Deep tissue massage is a growing business. Once you find out more about it, you will want to try it frequently. Employment in this field in one that is actually growing these days. As a massage therapist is generally self-employed, and special equipment is use required for any sort of a massage, he/she will generally possess their own.

A typical commercial massage table has an easily cleaned, heavily padded surface, and a horseshoe-shaped head support that allows the client to breathe easily while lying face down and can be stationary or portable. This is cleaned between massages, keeping everything very hygienic. An orthopedic pillow or bolster can be used to correct body positioning. Sometimes, mats are used.

My experience with deep tissue massage was very positive. I am out of pain, and don't have to keep taking over the counter medications which rarely worked. They barely alleviated the pain, never relieved it. I found out that I have a lot of energy. I will continue to go for deep tissue massages and eventually, I hope my pain will be a thing of the past.

Having had the massage, I felt great. Not only was I out of pain, but I felt I could think more clearly. Having researched general massage, I found out that this is not a figment of my imagination. When a massage is performed, the blood flow is better and this leads to overall well being from brain function to kidney/liver/elimination of waste. I found a local specialist. Check it out, find your local specialist.

Don't let chronic pain slow you down, and don't keep wasting money on the over the counter pain relief and have no relief! Do as I did. Treat yourself to a deep tissue massage. You will never regret the decision to go and have one. Increase in energy, improved brain power, and most of all, no pain.
